## Text

House Resolution 264
By: Representative Moore of the 91st
A RESOLUTION
Celebrating this year's Valentine's Day weddings; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, marriage is a cherished bond that unites two individuals in love, commitment,
and partnership; and
WHEREAS, celebrated around the world as a symbol of love and devotion, Valentine's Day
naturally serves as a fitting occasion for couples to exchange vows and begin their journey
together; and
WHEREAS, choosing to marry on this special day reflects a deep appreciation for the values
of love, romance, and lifelong commitment, evoking feelings of warmth and affection; and
WHEREAS, the celebration of marriage on Valentine's Day serves as a reminder of the
enduring power of love and the joy it brings to family, friends, and the wider community; and
WHEREAS, this momentous occasion marks the beginning of a shared life filled with love,
support, and companionship.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that
the members of this body celebrate this year's Valentine's Day weddings and extend best
wishes for shared health, happiness, and fulfillment.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized
and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to the
public and the press.

## Summaries written by Georgia Commons

The following was written by claude-sonnet-5 from the text above and is not part of the resolution. Quote the text, not the summary.

A Georgia House resolution recognizes couples who married on Valentine's Day this year, offering the chamber's congratulations without changing any state law.

### Plain-language summary

This House resolution is a ceremonial statement rather than a law. It does not create rules, spend money, or change any part of the Georgia Code. Instead, it states that the Georgia House of Representatives celebrates couples who chose to marry on Valentine's Day this year and wishes them health, happiness, and fulfillment.
The resolution also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies available to the public and the press, which is a routine step for ceremonial resolutions so they can be shared or presented to the people they honor.

### What it does

- Formally states that the House of Representatives celebrates this year's Valentine's Day weddings and wishes the couples well.
- Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the public and the press.
- Does not create, amend, or repeal any Georgia statute, since it is a ceremonial resolution rather than a bill.

### Who it affects

This resolution mainly affects couples who married on Valentine's Day this year, who are the subject of the House's congratulatory message. It also involves the Clerk of the House of Representatives, who must prepare and distribute copies of the resolution.

### Why it matters

The resolution has no legal or practical effect on daily life in Georgia. Its significance is symbolic: it offers public, official recognition from the state House to couples married on Valentine's Day, similar to other ceremonial honors the chamber issues.

### Key provisions

- The resolved clause states that House members celebrate this year's Valentine's Day weddings and extend wishes for health, happiness, and fulfillment.
- A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies available for distribution to the public and the press.
